A Home for Old Horses.

English philanth.opists are trying to
found a home for old an disabled horses
in London. The design is to provide a
place to which faithful old horses can
be sent by those who do not care to kill
them. 1t is also proposed to encourage
teamsters and truckmen to send dis
abled horses to the home for cure and
care. A number of good horses will be
kept on hand to rent for a small sum
to those who send sick horses to the
home. The all-too-common treatment
of the old horse is a disgrace. The
poor old brute, after his long years of
patient servitude, is turned out to die,
or sold OF given to some inhuman mas
ter, who grinds his life out by hard
work and rough u.age. We should be
sorry to have our interests in the hands
of Il mar who would abuse \ faithful
old equine friend.-RuraI New Yorker.
